Ryan Whitney's blog: 'We're excited now'

Ducks and Team USA defenseman Ryan Whitney is writing a diary for the Register during the Winter Olympics. Here is his latest entry after the U.S. defeated Switzerland, 2-0, to advance to Friday's semifinals.

To all the readers out there, I'm glad everyone got to see us win today. I know Ducks fans are watching at home and everyone's really into it. It makes it really special. Talking to fans and seeing people post things on Facebook, I'm feeling like all the hockey fans in the country are rallying around our team and watching our games. That's exciting.
